 Programs for Military Families

There are many programs for military families, but more services are necessary to truly meet the needs of military personnel, veterans, or their families. As you have learned about military culture and the needs of military personnel and their families, you may have gained insight into the types of programs that could support them. This week, you apply what you have learned about the needs of military families to your profession by designing a program relevant to those needs.

This is a discussion question that is about two paragraphs.

This week, you got to hear from guest speakers Christie Jenkins, Mary Kate Reese, and Danielle Walsh. The guest speakers discuss various pleasure and sexual lifestyles, including kink, fetishes, BDSM, leather, and other types of pleasure and sexual play. In this Discussion, you will reflect on how the guest speakers challenged or changed your knowledge about these topics.

To prepare:

  • Identify in which areas you have the most knowledge and least knowledge based on the three diagrams (amorous expression, power expression, and spectrum of play) in the pleasure and sexual lifestyle section of the Sexological Assessment.
  • Consider how the Learning Resources this week challenged or changed your previous knowledge about these topics.

By Day 3

Choose one guest speaker to focus on for your main post. In your post, respond to the following questions:

  • Describe what you learned from the guest speaker.
  • Explain how the guest speaker challenged or changed your knowledge or perspective.
  • Explain how this might impact your comfort level when working with clients engaged in, or considering, various pleasure and sexual lifestyles.CHARACTER ANALYSIS(Fictional character: Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory- Johnny Depp Version) His diagnosis is Schizoid personality disorder. 

     The purpose of this assignment is for you analyze one of your favorite characters. 

    Set-up:

    1)  brief summary of show/film/book and include actors, authors (approx 1 page)

    3) Explain behaviors of your character that support diagnosis. Give many, many, specific examples of behaviors that support diagnosis. This is crucial! Make it count. This should be about 2-3 pages.

    4) After you have diagnosed your character and gave evidence to support your diagnosis, you then must write a brief research paper on that particular disorder. For this portion of the paper, you will need to use three sources. For instance, if you diagnose your character with borderline personality disorder, you need to write a 3-4 page paper about the disorder and have at least 3 sources OTHER than your textbook cited within text of paper.

    5) Sources- you need 3 sources and these need to be documented. If you quote or take an idea out of a source that is not your own idea, then cite the source.

    Citations within the text should look like this:

    …… (Rynier, 2000) author’s last name and year it was published. 

    (cite sources within text and provide works cited page )

    Format for reference page: 

    Follow APA format. If sources can’t be validated, this is considered plagiarism and will result in a grade of “0.”

    **BE SURE TO INCLUDE A REFERENCE PAGE***

    **Your paper will be between 5-7 pages of text and then a reference page in addition. You do not need a cover sheet. Papers will be double spaced and written in word format. Be sure to check grammar and spelling. If papers do not match this format, they will not be graded. ****

Contemporary Youth Culture

The term culture, as typically used in counseling, is defined as patterns of beliefs, values, goals, and behavioral practices that are characteristic of an institution, organization, or group (Prout & Brown, Ed., 2007, p. 65). Children and adolescents engage in their own unique culture, and there are many powerful factors that influence child and adolescent behavior. For example, children in kindergarten may express great affection for a popular cartoon character; however, children in first grade may consider such affection to be a sign of immaturity. The Internet is a popular source of communication among adolescents, and the culture of constant access has broken down barriers of privacy. This has often led to varying degrees of bullying or harassment. Counselors working with children and adolescents must be knowledgeable of contemporary youth culture and the ways it can impact a child’s or adolescent’s thoughts, feelings, and behavior.

For this Discussion, select a magazine, news article, or some contemporary item depicting contemporary youth culture, and consider the core messages communicated through the item. Think about how these messages might impact children and adolescents and how your knowledge or lack of knowledge of this item might affect your ability to be an effective child and adolescent counselor.

Reference:
Prout, H. T., & Brown, D. T. (Ed.). (2007). Counseling and psychotherapy with children and adolescents: Theory and practice for school and clinical settings (4th ed.). Hoboken, NJ: Wiley.

With these thoughts in mind:

Post by Day 4 a brief description of the item you selected. Then, explain two core cultural messages communicated through the item. Next, explain one way these core messages could positively affect a child or adolescent, and explain one way it could negatively affect a child or adolescent and how. Finally, explain how your understanding of contemporary youth culture may help you be an effective child and adolescent counselor. Be specific.

Be sure to support your postings and responses with specific references to the Learning Resources.

Explain how the attentional blink relates to attention. Analyze how the variation in time influences the probability of seeing the second target letter. Explain the circumstances under which the attentional blink can be eliminated.

Attentional Blink

There are many stimuli in your environment of which you are not aware. You use attention to filter out unimportant stimuli and focus on relevant stimuli. However, there are circumstances under which you cannot perceive stimuli, regardless of how hard you “pay attention.” One situation is when visual stimuli are presented in quick succession. If the interval between the two stimuli is short enough, you do not perceive the second stimulus. This lapse in attention is known as attentional blink. In this assignment, you will experience the attentional blink for yourself and will also read about practical implications of the phenomenon.

Access the CogLab demonstration Attentional Blink. Follow the instructions to complete the demonstration.

Read the following article:

Using the experience from the CogLab demonstration and information from the article, write a paper that addresses the following:

  • Explain how the attentional blink relates to attention. Analyze how the variation in time influences the probability of seeing the second target letter. Explain the circumstances under which the attentional blink can be eliminated.
  • In the CogLab demonstration, letters were used as targets. The target used can influence the duration of one’s attentional blink and whether the attentional blink even occurs. Complete the following tasks:
    • Propose at least two other targets that could be used to induce the attentional blink.
    • Predict the effect each of your suggested targets would have on the duration of one’s attentional blink as compared to the CogLab activity you completed.
    • Explain the reasoning behind your predictions.
  • Present and discuss at least three occupations in which workers’ performance could be adversely affected by attentional blink. Identify and explain the types of problems or mistakes that might occur in such occupations due to the attentional blink.
  • Several years ago, some vehicle models came with a heads-up display (HUD). Instead of looking down at a panel on the dashboard, speed, distance traveled, fuel level, and time appeared to be displayed over the hood of the car. Discuss this design in terms of divided attention and attentional blink. Do you think the design was a good idea?

Write a 4-page paper in Word format. Apply APA standards to citation of sources.
